THE FIRST GROUP to arrive and board the good ship Indiana. . . • THE QUICK GRAY destroyer jumped over the lazy black sub. THE NAVY BLUE PULLS IN AT OLD LU. With the sound of Here Comes the Navy and Anchors Aweigh echoing after them, the Blue- jackets, both men and women march to classes — and play. Housed in the spacious dormitories that once constituted the Men ' s Residence Center, the Naval units have been an integral part of the University since the first contingent of yeomen arrived early in July. Classes of storekeepers, cooks, and bakers succeeded the yeomen in the fall and the WAVES appeared on the scene in October. The now familiar sight of WAVES marching through the campus will soon be augmented by sister service women as SPARS and Women ' s Ma- rine Reserves arrive in June.

High light of the Naval theatre season was the yeoman presenta- tion of Tattoo, a musical comedy, in the Audi- torium on the night before Indiana ' s Homecoming football game.
